This review applies to the edition published by Dover. Unfortunately all reviews show up under all editions, regardless of publisher.

This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it. However, the prospective buyer should be informed that the illustrations in this Dover edition are NOT by the original illustrator, Harrison Cady. Instead, they are crude redrawings by another artist, Thea Kliros. Although they are better than the illustrations in the Dover titles for which artist Pat Stewart did the crude redrawings, they are not as charming as Cady's work.

Some of the other titles in this Dover series of Thornton Burgess books do have original Harrison Cady illustrations.

To get real Harrison Cady illustrations of this title, you'll have to buy a used book. There were three sets of original Harrison Cady illustrations for this title:
-- Published by Little, Brown, with 6 full-page grayscale illustrations.
-- Published by Little, Brown, with 8 full-page color illustrations.
-- Published by Grosset & Dunlap, with 14 full-page B&W line drawings, including line-drawing versions of all 6 original grayscale illustrations in the Little, Brown editions, plus many smaller line drawings.

The redrawings in this Dover edition are of the 6 grayscale Little, Brown illustrations.

On the other hand, the cover illustration is one of only four special paintings Cady did of Burgess animals. As far as I know, the four Dover titles that have them are the first editions to use them. The price of the book is worth it for that cover alone.

I recommend the Grosset & Dunlap edition. Cady did them decades after he did the 6 grayscale Little, Brown illustrations, after he had grown as an artist. Even though the Grosset & Dunlap line drawings are simpler than the Little, Brown grayscale illustrations, they are more charming. On the other hand, the Little, Brown grayscale illustrations better show Cady's remarkable vision for Burgess' creatures, so if you can get both, that's ideal. But either one is better than the drawings in this Dover edition.

The Little, Brown edition with the 8 full-page color illustrations was done about the same time as the Grosset & Dunlap drawings, but it is not a well-made book, and is not as enjoyable to hold and read as the Grosset & Dunlap.

The Adventures of Danny Meadow Mouse Dover Children Thrift Classics Thornton W Burgess 0800759275656 Books Reviews

I bought this book to read with my 6 year old and it had been a great experience to help build his confidence reading chapter books while also providing a great story with morals.
I grew up on these and LOVED them! Never tired of hearing them over and over again. If you read to your children or grandchildren, you'll want them all.
My mother used to read to us from this sweet little book (many years ago!) and I've never forgotten the characters or the lessons to be learned. If you've got kids or grandkids, get this book. If you don't you still might enjoy it for it's views on friends, trust, being careful, and reflection on oneself. Timeless!
classic tales
got this for my grandniece as my grandma got me started in the series. I wanted a hardback like I had at age 5 but was unable to find one. this paperback has really small type, I would guess a 6 point, and so get a hand lens to read it to your grandkids.
We love reading these older classic books. It shares the adventure of this little mouse through Green Meadows, being befriended by a Rabbit after narrow escapes from Foxes and birds of prey. It is light hearted so a child can understand the realities of the life of animals and that they can be eaten by other animals but all make it through.
Great five minute stories that I remember reading as a kid and now I can start reading them to my daughter. Simple and easy to understand, many of the stories teach lessons about morals, instead of mindless blather. I am enjoying reading through the series again.
